Essential Components of TWS API programs
This lesson will explore the essential components of a TWS API Python program. This includes the API classes EClient and EWrapper, a function call to create a connection to TWS, and a run loop for processing returned messages in the queue. We’ll walk through a simple Contract Details request example which implements each of these components in order to send a query for details about a financial instrument and then print received details to the console.
